For the economy to “reduce its demand for energy to a sustainable minimum” with “measures to penalise the use of large engines in cars; measures to discourage private and encourage public transport”.

A View from the Swamp. Random thoughts from the edge of the Fens. Can we emerge as the party of principle? May 3rd, 2011. It seems to me that the Conservatives and particularly Labour are mired in the class-warfare of the last century. Labour still think of entitlements and the Conservatives still preserve the interests of the rich and powerful. Worse, both parties seek wedge issues and nakedly grub for votes, running lowest common denominator campaigns seeking to bribe the voters. Addressing the deficit...

A View from the Swamp. Random thoughts from the edge of the Fens. Archive for the ‘Politics’ Category. Laquo; Older Entries. Tuesday, June 7th, 2011. Recently there has been talk of the impending boundary changes. Some of this has been quite alarming for us Liberal Democrats, with the Guardian estimating we’d lose up to 25% of our seats! Personally, I suspect that is merely alarmist, but I thought I’d take a look at how the changes might affect my area. First, what will the changes be? In particular, bet...

A View from the Swamp. Random thoughts from the edge of the Fens. Archive for the ‘Conservation’ Category. Farming Peat Fens, Part 1. Thursday, June 16th, 2011. What could possibly be wrong with that? The common perception is that farming is green and sustainable, or at the very minimum it must take CO. Out of the atmosphere. But when the peat is drained, biodegradation resumes and the peat evaporates, mostly becoming carbon dioxide. The speed of this process can best be seen. So how much CO. About 120 t...

A View from the Swamp. Random thoughts from the edge of the Fens. Archive for the ‘United Nations’ Category. Is Libya near tipping point? Wednesday, May 11th, 2011. Most commentators agree that Libya is in stalemate. But when you examine the situation in detail, it feels to me as if it may be nearing a critical tipping point where things swing decisively in favour of the pro-democracy movement. There are four areas which give hope that this might be true:. A renewed assault on Brega. In the Nafusa mounta...
